Chi-dependent intramolecular recombination in Escherichia coli.

Genetics - 1 Feb 1998

Friedman-Ohana R, Karunker I, Cohen A

Abstract excerpt

Homologous recombination in Escherichia coli is enhanced by a cis-acting octamer sequence named Chi (5'-GCTGGTGG-3') that interacts with RecBCD. To gain insight into the mechanism of Chi-enhanced recombination, we recruited an experimental system that permits physical monitoring of intramolecular recombination by linear substrates released by in vivo restriction from infecting chimera phage. Recombination of the...
